Antony and Cleopatra's Clowns and courtiers

Explore the roles of the servants/courtiers in this play (Charmain, the messengers, Eros, etc.) What is their function in the play (they seem to almost act as a Chorus or the Clown figures of other plays)?

  1. I think it's interesting how Charmain seems to both blindly agree with Cleopatra and also obstinantly dissagree at different times throughout the play. I wonder if there is a strategy for this and if there is a hidden agenda in this seemingly lesser character
